Vietnam: Mountain Road
Hello,
The Vietnam adventure continues ...up a winding mountain trail.
The view up there is just spectaculatastically, superfragiliciousitaneously like very very ultra um.. good.
Just look at it(try and ignore the dot in the middle of the first picture).
..I know you are looking at the dot.
Travelling in a mini-van around the small towns peppering the landscape, you feel shielded from the real Vietnam. Its like watching TV. The windows of the van no more than just a screen showing the pretty pictures with no commercials. You dont get the warmth of the the sunshine, the smell of the golden harvests or the feeling of the virgin mountain breeze threading through your hair. Kinda like looking at pictures of a blog, or reading a blog entry about someone. Its entertainment without involvement. Touring without travelling. Existence without fufilment.
As such, in our attempt to elevate to a higher philosophical plane, we rented a scooter. Oh yes. We rented a scooter. One scooter, to be exact.
At that instant, Vietnam came alive.
Incidently, we got the lady above to take a picture of us on the scooter.
Want to see?
..cute or not?
More to come

i'm eyeing the 350D as well. :D
it's still retailing at 1399 now. the 400D is going for 1699. besides an extra 2megapixel and a slightly bigger cmos, there's not much difference already. :(
i think i'll end up getting the 350D.
did you get lenses in your package?
You can get it for less I believe at either Cathay(Marina Sq) or Alan(Sim Lim). Well...a bigger cmos and extra 2 mega pixel are big differences..
I got the standard kit lens.
hehe but then the 350D is good enough for me already leh.
but do you feel that the 8 megapix from the 350D is sufficient? i saw the photos you shot at your uncle's wedding. the quality is more than satisfactory for me.
wellllllll,
I didnt take those photos with my camera. It was with the 30D. Which is 10megapix...
BUT eitherway, 8 is fine up to A4 prints. Provided you dont crop much.
jingshen,
do you think the extra 200 dollars is worth it to get the 400d?
